# ChefBible

## Overview
**ChefBible** is a self-hosted, mobile-friendly recipe and menu management tool designed for **real-world kitchen use**.  
It is optimized for **speed**, **simplicity**, and  so cooks can find, read, and add recipes in **under 10 seconds**.

The app is built with:
- **SvelteKit** for UI and server logic
- **TailwindCSS** for responsive, kitchen-friendly design
- **Prisma** as the ORM
- **PostgreSQL** as the database

This repo is intentionally structured to make onboarding **both humans and LLMs** easy, so all core context is documented here.

## Purpose
ChefBible aims to replace clunky recipe binders, scattered Google Docs, and slow web apps with something **built for the kitchen**.  
It focuses on:
1. Storing and organizing recipes
2. Tracking ingredients and allergens
3. Building menus from recipes
4. Displaying everything in a **fast, easy-to-read format** on tablets or phones

**MVP Rule:**  
If a feature isn’t needed for a cook to find, read, or add a recipe in **<10 seconds**, it is not part of Phase 1–2.
